you forgot the bunny from "The Holy Grail" by far the scariest beast alive..... ha hahaha. What does it say about my kid that he totally loses it when sitting on Santa's lap but absolutely adores the Mall Easter Bunny?

And since when did Easter become 2nd only to Christmas in merchandising. It's making me kinda sick. BTW, my daughter is currently at the mall with her day care class visiting the Carnivorous Man-Eating Bunny. Eep.

ROFL, each bunny was scarier than the last...good dog too funny.Ok first time I've ever heard WalMart referred to as WhaleMart but omg, that is such a fitting name,lolBut leave the peeps alone, I love peeps, especially when they get a little staley with the jelly beans and grass stuck to them, yum!

Bossy's kids never really went in for the idea of the Menacing Bunny climbing the steps to deliver their plastic egg hunt clues (the clues which always rhymed) (and that was just as difficult to pull off as you imagine, drunk, on Easter eve)... and they preferred their baskets left in innocuous places far from their bedrooms, like the downstair's hall bath.

I feel like everyone else's need to go over-the-top on all these holidays (those pics are ridiculous!) has squeezed all of the fun out of them for me. Just a few more years, and I can celebrate my kids being over them as well! (yeah, I look forward to when my kids are jaded - is that wrong?)

I do not eat candy. I have some white sugar on my counter in a jar marked poison. My five and a half year old has NEVER, and I mean NEVER eaten a hamburger or a hot-dog. I think the sugar industry is a huge conspiracy.

And yet. Every year, those sugar encrusted marshmallow chicks (like the red-food-coloring bottles morphed into sugar-mallow-strawberries) get me. Those and the cadbury easter eggs. Chocolate cake, mousse, pumpkin pie, cheezies, candy-canes, truffles, whatever.. no holiday or candy otherwise gets me like those arteriosclerosis easter chicks. FN YUM. I don't eat them. But, I spend a lot of time wishing I did.

And, I too loathe contributing to the plastic casing, plastic wrapping, sugar industry supporting consumerism that is necessary to normalize my child with his/her peers during each and every holiday.

Now, Peeps? I love. I can't eat them because, well they ain't so good for the sugabetes, and well I try to stay away from eating things with colors not found in nature...but I love them and I think they are REALLY cute

My daughter was absolutely terrified of that Easter Bunny up until about five minutes ago when she discovered it's just a sad man in a bad costume. Those pics are priceless, especially the last. Easter bunny carnage. Is nothing sacred?

Oh, my GOD... those pictures are hysterical! I'm a little creeped out by the one with the little girl in the wicker chair, because I SWEAR that's the same chair and same Easter Bunny from my childhood photos. I'm going to look for that tomorrow.
